About

Black Opium bursts forth with a juicy pear and bright orange blossom opening, quickly making way for a heart of rich, dark coffee and creamy almond, softened by a whisper of jasmine. The dry down is a warm, enveloping cloud of vanilla and cashmeran, grounded by earthy patchouli and a touch of cedar. Think cosy nights and sweet indulgence.
